Belle Glos Pinot Noir Dairyman Russian River Valley 2022 750 ML

Dark plum in color with abundant aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, and sun-ripened blackberry with a hint of cedar. Layered flavors of blackberry and raspberry pie filling, accompanied by notes of cinnamon, chocolate, and nutmeg play on the palate. Smooth and focused with refined tannins and a medium finish. \n \n Producer Information \n Belle Glos is a producer of Pinot Noir particularly known for its single-vineyard releases from various sites along the California coast. It is named after Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, co-founder of Caymus Vineyards and grandmother of owner-winemaker Joe Wagner. The label produces a small collection of Pinot Noir wines, sourced from different coastal-influenced locations. The three stalwarts are the Dairyman, sourced from a former dairy farm on the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley, while south of San Francisco, Clark & Telephone in the Santa Maria Valley is planted on its own roots to the rare Martini clone. Finally, Las Alturas (as the name suggests) is one of the highest vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Monterey County. In the winery, grapes are vinified by seperate plots from the vineyard to allow for precision winemaking. Cold-soaking is frequently employed to ensure the Pinot Noir wines have a full-spectrum of color and hue with French oak barrels sourced for the aging process.
